I teach my students how they would be taught if their memory was erased; bit by bit.

An ice breaker, ask the students what they know about the subject, and an actual written assessment to give a baseline.

Yes, when I teach, I give students a push, and eventually they fly on their own.

I would show them the sweet rewards of their hard work, and tell them this is what you can achieve if you just press on. The grind doesn’t stop.

I would attempt to try another method to better suit them, such as flashcards, online games, and maybe even more real-world examples they could be more engaged in.

I would slow it down, and try to gradually increase the difficulty of the problems that we are doing so that they don't feel overwhelmed.

To start slow, let them show me what they are capable of, instead of me assuming they are at a level of understanding they are not at yet.
